Answer:

No, because beta particles move faster and can penetrate into the human body more easily.

Explanation:

Some beta particles are capable of penetrating the skin and causing damage such as skin burns. However, as with alpha-emitters, beta-emitters are most hazardous when they are inhaled or swallowed.

What is the formula that is used to find the velocity of a wave?
Hoochie [10]

Answer: Wave speed is related to wavelength and wave frequency by the equation: Speed = Wavelength x Frequency. This equation can be used to calculate wave speed when wavelength and frequency are known.

Car A with a mass of 725 kilograms is traveling east at an initial velocity of 15 meters/second. It collides head–on with car B,
ikadub [295]

Answer:

p_t_o_t_a_l=250kg\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

<u>The total momentum of a system is defined by:</u>

(mv)_t_o_t=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...

Where,

(mv)_t_o_t is the total momentum or it could be expressed also as p_t_o_t_a_l.

m_1 and m_2 represents the masses of the objects interacting in the system.

v_1 and v_2 are the velocities of the objects of the system.

<em>Remember: </em><em>The momentum is a fundamental physical magnitude of vector type.</em>

We have:

m_1=725 kg

v_1=15\frac{m}{s}\\m_2=625 kg

We are going to take the east side as positive, and the west side as negative. Then the velocity of the car B, has to be <u>negative</u>. It goes in a different direction from car A.

v_2=-17\frac{m}{s}

Then the total momentum of the system is:

p_t_o_t_a_l=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\p_t_o_t_a_l=(725kg)(15\frac{m}{s})+(625kg)(-17\frac{m}{s})\\p_t_o_t_a_l=10875kg\frac{m}{s}-10625kg\frac{m}{s}\\p_t_o_t_a_l=250kg\frac{m}{s}

An astrophysicist mounts two thin lenses along a single optical axis (the lenses are at right angles to the line connecting them
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1 / i + 1 / o = 1 / f     thin lens equations

i = o f / (o - f)   rearranging

Lens 1:   object = 30 cm    f = 15.2 cm

i1 = 30 * 15.2 / (30 - 15.2) = 30.8 cm

o2 = 40.2 - 30/8 = 9.4 cm    distance of image 1 from lens 2

i2 = 9.4 * 15.2 / (9.4 - 15.2) = - 24.6 cm

The final image is 24.6 cm to the left of lens 2

The first image is inverted

The second image is erect (as seen from the first image)

So the final image is inverted

M = m1 * m2 = (-30.8 / 30) * (24.6 / 9.4) = -2.69

The wavelength range of colors visible to humans ranges from 350 nm to 750 nm. light that most of us perceive as ________ is at
rodikova [14]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>The wavelength range of colors visible to humans ranges from 350 nm to 750 nm. light that most of us perceive as red is at 750 nm."

In fact, each different color is associated to a different sub-range of this range of wavelengths. Approximately, they are:
- violet: 350-450 nm
- blue: 450-495 nm
- green: 495-570 nm
- yellow: 570-590 nm
- orange: 590-620 nm
- red: 620-750 nm</span>
